Jungle Brothers - "What s Going On"
Verse 1: Mike G
Its a cryin shame, brothers takin life as a game
Growing up against the law, but no-one knows whos to blame
Dealin drugs on the corner, you dont have to, but you wanna
A meal is hard to make, but you tell yourself youre gonna
Dealing 12 to 12, day into evening
I wonder how you continue to be grieving
Your meal is made and its time to chill
You buy the black Mercedes Benz with the gold to the grill
Cruisin up the ave while your friends get jealous
You find out, you quickly get restless
You buy a gun, it doesnt help but hurt you
Because your so-called friend rattled on you
Youre in the pen serving 10 to 20
Your boy snatched your girl and put use to your money
Youre out for teen, but what does it mean?
Youre just a wasted, young brother who lost it all on a dream
Chorus: (sampled from Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye)
Whats goin on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Yeah, whats goin on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Verse 2: Afrika, Mike G
My blood brother is bleeding, its a cryin shame
Out on the street tryin to play the game
Formally an in-mate straight from upstate
Cant stop him now cause you see its just too late
Hes on the run and hes got a gun
Stay out his way unless you want some
See, hes gettin older, a bit more bolder
Got his name written up in the 5-0 folder
A big Christmas list of all the crimes hes committed
He says he didnt do it, but we know he did it
Summons his lawyers, fingerprints, bung shots
Lookin for my brother, yo, hes at the drug spots
Livin off that cheap Chinese food
He says he only bumps the people when hes in the mood
Runnin round with his crews and his 2-2s
I saw him last night in the prime time news
Shot and killed by a
His birth to the earth was a big mistake
Now, history was not my favourite subject
I used to flip through the pages and get upset
Seein little of black and too much of the other
(They tried to brainwash you) Picture that, a jungle brother
Read this, read that, answer question 3
But when I got to 3, it had nothin to do with me
Somethin was wrong, and I knew it all along
Now tell me (please) whats goin on
Repeat chorus
Verse 3: Afrika, Mike G
A: Now, Ive been told all the dos and dont-do-nots
My mother, hallelujah, she called the shots
She said, "Dont play with guns and play with knives
And most of all, dont play with other peoples wives
When youre walkin down the street, pay the pushers no mind
Cause all they wanna do is put your mind on cloud nine
Put your head up high and your feet on the ground
You dont have to be like everybody else to be down
Stay in school
G: Dont be no fool
A: Dont lose your temper
G: And keep your cool
A: Follow your heart
G: And not your friends
A: And some of your friends
G: Could lead you into dead ends"
A: The other day my father said, "Son, God bless your soul
Our life is gettin tougher and the world is cold"
I said, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, what do you mean?" He said,
G: "You aint got nothin less you got the green"
A: I realise to myself things are gonna be hard
So each and every day I pray to God
I say, "Now I lay me down to sleep
G: I give the Lord my soul to keep
A: If I should die before I wake
G: Take me to heaven cause I need a break
A: But if you let me live to another morn
G: Id like to know whats goin on
Chorus 2:
Whats goin on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Tell me whats goin on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
